Wiyanna is an absolute powerhouse to put it lightly. She has been doing my hair and makeup for years and I felt that I could trust no one other than her on my wedding day. Througho...
ut the wedding planning process, she went above and beyond with trials, referrals for skincare prep as well as extensions, ongoing communication with myself and bridesmaids/mother of the bride, and creating a seamless timeline that she executed perfectly. She even entertained me when I pulled a last minute request to do my rehearsal dinner hair and it turned out absolutely amazing. On the big day, Wiyanna was organized. She came prepared and she prepped all of us girls beforehand on how we should show up so no was guessing. This woman did the hair and makeup of 6 women the morning of my wedding with no sweat and it turned out absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Wiyanna enough for both her wedding related services and for her hair and makeup services she offers at Shae Robert. She is absolutely amazing and you can trust that you are the hands of a competent and caring professional.
I went to Wiyanna, because she got amazing reviews and I really needed help with my wedding hair and makeup. I've been growing my hair out for a while now and at the time of my wed...
ding it was still very short. After Wiyanna worked her magic I had an elegant updo, and everyone though my hair had grown about a foot. Wiyanna also did my makeup, which was very subtle and natural and made my face look absolutely flawless. She also did the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, and everyone looked amazing. I still go to her to get my haircut because in addition to giving me an amazing haircut, she's also a lot of fun to hang out with.
My friend got married the other day and Wiyanna did her hair and makeup. A wedding can be an extremely stressful occasion, and every bride wants to look her best. Wiyanna made the ...
process so enjoyable and relaxing, and every part of my friend's appearance and experience was perfect. She is a true professional, and made the morning joyful, the wedding marvellous, and the pictures chic memories of the best day of her life!
Wiyanna was amazing to work with! Weddings can be very stressful but it gave me a huge sense of relief knowing that Wiyanna was going to be doing my hair and makeup. She was easy t...
o communicate with and went out of her way to make me look and feel fabulous. It was evident at the trial that she not only listens to her clients, but she also has a great eye for what looks good. She is a perfectionist and it really shows in her work. She even stayed to help me put the veil on and taught my mother how to remove it.
She truly did an amazing job and I highly recommend her- you won't be disappointed with her work!
I was lucky enough to find Wiyanna when I first arrived in California, and she has been my stylist ever since.
I had a destination wedding in Napa and, based on some recommenda...
tions, had a trial with a different stylist in the local area which did not go well. I was disappointed by that experience, and disheartened not knowing what to do.
At my next hair appointment with Wiyanna, she cheerfully offered to travel up to Napa for my wedding weekend to do my hair and makeup, as well as that of my wedding party. I was so thrilled, as I hadn’t expected her to be available, and knew I would be in great hands!
We set a time for a run through to make sure we were on the same page, and our trial was perfect. Wiyanna listened to my ideas, and really understood what I was looking for without need for course corrections. She was able to make my hair look natural while in an up-do, and to keep my makeup looking fresh and not overdone.
On my wedding day, Wiyanna was incredible. She not only arrived at 6am for my 10am wedding as requested, she single handedly managed to do the hair of my mother, mother-in-law to-be, two sisters, and myself, with aplomb, remaining calm and helping keep us all in good spirits. Everyone’s hair was beautiful, and I have never felt more perfect or beautiful in my life. I am grateful to her and so glad that she was able to be a part of such an important day.
I highly recommend Wiyanna, for wedding day (or any day) hair and makeup!
Wiyanna had been my stylist since my best friend recommended her to me years ago. Whenever I came in for an appointment I felt amazing walking out! So there was no doubt that I w...
ould her use for my wedding day. She was awesome! She breezed through 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and me, the bride. She came up with idea to incorporate a flower from our bouquets in each of the bridesmaids hair which added a beautiful finishing touch. During my hair trial I told her i was thinking about keeping it down and she talked me through my options and we came up with a romantic half up half down style that lasted the whole night. She is so sweet and so knowledgeable. She's the best! :)
I went to Wiyanna for a $250 trial hair and makeup for my wedding. I left more unhappy than I could have ever imagined. The makeup was caked on, had no color contouring (no blush...
), the lashes looked extremely fake, and she didn't even have the sense to put mascara on the bottom lashes....and to top it all of, she was very rude and rushing through the entire appointment. I brought my before and after picture to another hair and makeup stylist in the bay area and she was ashamed that an artist could get away with doing such a terrible job. Brides beware. SHE IS NOT WORTH IT!
I had a heck of a time trying to find a stylist for my wedding last September. Then I heard about Wiyanna from a friend's coworker. She was quite cheery when I talked to her on t...
he phone and she emailed me a PDF of all her wedding prices. 5 stars for her being super organized and professional!
Then I was a bit like a deer in headlights when she asked me what I wanted during my trial appointment. Thank god she had lots of ideas after I told her about my venue and dress! Wiyanna definitely glammed me up, which I totally loved since I'm a bit of a tomboy. We took pictures and I felt so relieved!
The day of my wedding, Wiyanna was on time and seemed more than prepared to handle the circus around her. My mother-in-law was on my last nerve and she very delicately handled her challenging behavior. After we were able to scoot her out of the bridal suite, Wiyanna went to work on the remaining five bridesmaids and then myself. She paid great attention to detail and was eager to lend us her suggestions about what she thought would look good for each of the girls. The hair and makeup was SO pretty and stayed put through dinner and dancing. I totally recommend her!
I had such a great experience with Wiyanna that she has now become my hair stylist and I see her on a regular basis for haircuts!
I found Wiyanna here on the Knot.com and couldn't be more ecstatic with the final results for my May wedding in Napa Valley. She was so helpful during my trial appointment and had...
a lot of great ideas. The day of she showed up early, with her assistant and was ready to make us all look and feel beautiful. Her attention to detail and ability to handle a few picky bridesmaids are priceless. And we stayed on time for portraits, all while the hair and makeup lasted all night. I can't recommend her enough!!!! She was such an important part of a special day!!!!!
